Most absurd anti-gay marriage ad...ever (A Gathering Storm)

The National Organization for Marriage has created the most over-the-top, redonkulous anti-gay marriage ad I've ever seen:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp76ly2_NoI

I actually thought this was a parody at first but no, they're serious. Beware the coming storm of sodomy! Bewaaaaare...!

lol yeah i was stumped...

It gave me a good laugh this morning, this ad is all sorts of wrong =P.

wow

All married gay couples should be simply ashamed - infringing on the rights of everyday straight people like that. Your mere existance is ruining their lives!

 How can people believe this crap??

As sad as the content of the

As sad as the content of the ad makes me, the fact that every comment on the video was pro-gay marriage makes me happy. At least there's hope out there.

WTF?

I noticed that too Leeza. It makes me so happy to see all the WTF? comments. I really don't quite believe it yet though... I'm waiting for the audience to start clapping and a celesbian to come out from around the corner. It's so bizarre on so many levels, it's hard to believe it's a serious add. I think they screwed themselves with making it so dramatic... like anyone is going to buy that if we get married then a doctor can no longer practice medicine. That doesn't even make any sense. Not that I would want them to succeed though, obviously.

I'm with everyone else. WTF?

Mass delusion

That was bizarre.  Same sex marriage takes away the freedom of others?  What have they putting in their coffee?  I checked out their website and this organization is only concerned about same sex marriage as a threat to heterosexual marriage.  What about divorce?  What about domestic violence?  What about adultery?  No!  Same sex marriage alone has the power to completely destroy the marriages of heterosexuals and their families.  They do have some interesting political connections to the previous Administration's Civil Rights Council.

well that was special

And that's all the attention I'm giving it.

 I'm with Leeza, glad for all the pro-gay comments

WTF?

You gotta be kidding!

I guess that was the same reaction when women can vote

or when "black" people can enter the same places that the "white" people

why do they need to be against things they dont:-understand, something that doesnt affect them???

yeah a storm it coming.... to take all the ignorant and closed people to a better place...

yei!

I should be angry at those

I should be angry at those people but I simply can't because they made me laugh so hard! But the comments are great, really supportive and some even funnier than the ad. It fits in perfectly w/ the PSA Portia made. The storm in the background...hahaha, could also be from a really crappy horror movie...

If schools really taught that gay-marriage is okay (0:31), there would be a lot less homophobia. And they don't even explain HOW their lives are touched by the issue, they just say that they are...

Exactly What I Was Thinking...

I watched it yesterday and couldn't get over the fact that they never made any comments as to HOW it affects them, just that it does.  They don't even make any comments that make you think they ever will tell us HOW.  We're just supposed to be confident that is does?  Even the wife strolled by and said "huh, they never said how, crazy."

that was hilarious

All it sounds like to me is hate not love.

i just watched that video and was left confused.. i can't fathom people really feeling that way, it blows my mind. I looked at their website and was so disgusted. they provide answers to 'tough questions' for people who support their cause. All of their answers are ridiculous and completely illogical. 

 

I'm proud to be gay, proud to be out and can not wait to have a beautiful wife someday!

Debunking NOM

The link below debunks this new and growing organization.  Their publicity is increasing.  The HRC just had a debate with them on Hardball.

I'm just dumbfounded by

I'm just dumbfounded by Maggie's comment that gay marriage will change notion of marriage will change for everyone that it won't be the only institution that unite the two great halves of humanity male and female, so that their children will know and be known by, love and be loved by their own mother and father.

The notion of marriage has already changed...how many divorcee are there...how many children becomes the victim of domestic abuse? I think it is not gay marriage that will change the notion of marriage. It is the human kind.

Even if we go back to the history of marriage many are done because of economic/faith liason : http://marriage.about.com/cs/generalhistory/a/marriagehistory.htm 

The only thing that scares on me on storm is how ignorant people can be...I am scared...oh so scared...that in this day an age they still exist.

Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing...is all I can say.

One of the comments said that we've stolen the rainbow and it's time they steal it back. I was laughing to hard too reply. Lol. Morons.

If you listen very closely to the background music of this ad you can hear the world's smallest man playing the world's smallest violin.  A quiet dirge that plays in the small, Grinch-sized hearts of these people.  :-P

What's funny is

What's funny is that they had to use actors (check out the auditions). Is it weird that I sort of pity the people who auditioned? I mean, the whole idea of auditioning for an ad that promotes such ass-backward ideas is just sad. I wonder if the actors agreed with the sentiment, or if they just really needed the money.

Carrr's picture

That is kind of funny. I'm

That is kind of funny. I'm thinking they must agree with the sentiment. I think I'd rather prostitute myself to make some quick cash than be in an ad like that.
's picture

Ok..... that was ummm

That was, ummm.... stupid. I was slightly amused actually. Haha, oh well, people will believe what they want to believe. Oh Jesus Christ, when the woman said, "My son is being taught that gay marriage is ok at school", BLAH!!! He can believe whatever he wants to believe in, whether it be the school, his mother, or what he sees as right and wrong for his self. But anyway, most of the comments were pro-gay marriage anyway, so it must not be affecting people that much. =)

I don't believe in love at first sight because love sees beyond what the naked eyes can see it sees the heart. Do you really know the heart of the person that you claim to love when you first see that "special someone"?

My Translation

This ad just made me laugh. so here is my translation.

1. A storm is gathering- of happy couples who wish to get married
2. And I am afraid- that my prejudices will no longer be the norm
3. They want to bring the issue into my life- I will have to accept a welcome to the neighborhood pie from the gay couple down the street.
4. My freedom will be taken away- to deny 1 group emotional, social, and financial security.
5. I'm a Californian Doctor- who doesn't like to help social outcast because Jesus would look down on that.
6. I am apart of a church group in New Jersey that will be punished by the government for disagreing with same-sex marriages- straight paranoia ( pardon the pun)
7. I am Mass. Parent unable to stop her school- from teaching tolerance and equality
8. Advocates of gay marriage are not content with couples living there life as they wish- how dare they ask for protection against job discrimination, violence, and stuff like that

9. Those who advocate for same sex-marriage want to change my life- by forcing me to marry a lesbian
10. I will have no choice- but to accept that I was wrong
11. But there is hope...- That all the people will come together to destroy the hopes and dreams of one group because of a couple lines in 1 book. The book is about love and that why we must destroy love for people we don't like.

ehehehe that's just

ehehehe that's just funny..

what a marvelous piece of social engineering, gods i hope this gets on national television..

instant division re-inforcement.

some will agree with the veiws expressed and be abit more hard-line, others will listen to what is said and ask the big question of who's rights should "come first", there's only one conclusion to that question.. no one's, therefore...

I can't believe they'res such stupid people in the world these days -.-'

Michie87's picture

FAIL!!

I guess most people must have been left with a O_O expression in their faces -pro or against marriage-, I mean that is just mere nonsense it makes all those people look like clowns really. XD.

K, this says it all

I posted the link on my facebook status after I saw this forum topic, and my friend goes 

 "Christ on a bike, are you sure that that's not an April Fool's joke? The acting's so terrible, especially that woman who's like "The gays are teaching my son that not being prejudiced is ok, and that's taking away my choice to teach my children to be bigots."

I'm blown away

All that money going towards something so NOT in the name of love.

Um, wow

It's weird... I was half outraged and half on the verge of hysterical laughter.

That's just the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

Just a tad on the dramatic side aren't we? These people are Pathetic. 

 

And I coundn't stop laughing at everything they said, it just got more ridiculous by the second.

Nomnomnom.

YouTube comments are usually made of such fail that they hurt the eyes to read, but when I clicked on that, the following was on the front page, which just has to be preserved for posterity:

"You are a delicious truffle composed entirely of cognitive failure."

Amayyyzing. 

kate's picture

Those poor dears.

That was good...

Look at the girl in the blue shirt at second three. Somebody's still in the closet.

Second 15 - Her freedom to do what? Spread hate? Promote bigotry? How insensitive of me.

Second 18 - Read the fine print. Wonder how much they got paid.

And at the end he said "a rainbow coalition". Um, dude. The rainbow is ours. Nice try. 

All their claims were lacking supporting evidence. If you're going to engage in a stupid debate at least come prepared. If you're having an argument with someone you can't just scream "You're a big meanie head!" and expect to win.
